John Wayne Bracket #1 Tony Soprano - Cunnilingus and Psychiatry brought him to this. Vs. #16 Don Logan - (Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast) Organized crime figure. All tremble when he enters a room. #8 Man with No Name - (Clint Eastwood character from the Sergio leone series) Anti-Hero, always seemed to kill the right guy..for the right reason. Vs. #9 Cord Walker - Chuck Norris as Walker Texas Ranger. Nuff said.. #5 G. Sgt. Tom Highway - (Clint Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge) he has drank more beer, banged more quiff, pissed more blood than all of you numbnuts put together. Vs. #12 Rocky Balboa - Yo Adrian, he is gonna kick some ***...and do it dramatically as well. #4 Jack Bauer - (“24" hero) Save the country, the president and leave a string of bad guys defeated. You know him. Vs. #13 Martin Riggs - (Mel Gibson, Lethal Weapon Series) He’s drunk, suicidal, has a dark sense of humor and he chain smokes and that is during a beating he regularly gives the bad guys. #6 William Wallace - (Mel Gibson in Braveheart) Freeeeedom!!!!!!!!! Vs. #11 Conan- (Arnold in Conan the Barbarian) Born on a battlefield, respected warrior as a boy, slayer of all. #3 King Kong - Fights a T-rex, does Fay Ray, Devastates New York City. Vs. #14 Blade - He is part Vampire, carries a samurai sword and is the chief vampire hunter on the planet. #7 Snake Plissken - (Kurt Russell in Escape from New York) World War III Hero turned Super Criminal then turned chief government heavy.

Vs. #15 Neil McCauley - (Robert DeNiro in Heat) Super Thief, very thorough, doesn’t want witnesses, so don’t be one.
I'm voting for Don Logan to defeat Tony... I mean there will never be another Tony, but he had his weaknesses... the blackouts for one.. I worry that not enough people have seen Ben Kingsley in that movie Sexy Beast though... I just love the way he says "can't"...
Rambo vs McCaugley was tougher than I thought at first glance. And as far as Tony, even with all the blackouts he still found time to bang Russians, smoke cigars, and take out whoever need to be done away with.
OK- who's the crazy foo' that voted against Rambo??? (If it was alcohol-induced, then it's acceptable )
How the hell is King Kong losing to Blade? King Kong killed a friggin' TRex, ruled Skull Island and messed up NYC. Doesn't get more badass then that.
Bauer is the sane version of Riggs, and would get his *** handed to him. Riggs kills everyone, and is much less worried about the arrest. No contest.
So we're talkiing pre-Murtaugh, Leo, and falling in love and having a baby Riggs? I.E. Lethal Weapon 1? I was viewing it as the whole package-he kinda got pussified near the end, whereas Jack has been a consistent badass even after falling in love with Audrey and whatnot.
Pre Murtaugh? Not exactly. Did you see #2? Let's not exaggerate away half the series. Also, don't mistake movie levity for character weakness. Still the same guy who killed Wah Sing Ku, even after being bit by the love bug Plus, Riggs never let anyone kill him
Good points all, but Jack has returned from the dead TWICE, and survived torture in a Chinese prison. That, to me, gives him an automatic Final Four bid...
Come on, Jack Bauer is a no-brainer here. Chuck Norris is pretty bad *** but Walker just can't compare to the man with no name.
Whats hurting Bauer is he lives on Network Television. If his show was on HBO or Showtime he'd be kicking Riggs' *** right now. Movie Badasses>>>>>>TV Badasses
Now William Wallace and Conan are caught in a tussle...Oh the humanity! (BTW..some people are not voting in all the "games"....)
Yeah, but there's also total coverage to figure in. 24 has had six seasons. Six seasons times 24 one hour episodes = around 144 one hour episodes vs. Four movies that might be 2 hours each = maybe 8 total hours Bauer has been given a whole lot of time to show his wares.
I think you forgot how that went... His "rule"..was never start anything that you can't walk away from when you spot the heat around the corner. When he SAW Hannah...he WALKED away from his chick... VERY BADASS of him. He just got a tough draw...but don't slander Neil.
He waited too long though and ultimately got caught. He should have left immediately and written her a post card from Dubai. It is badass what he risked to kill the people who ****ed him over, so I give him points for that, but he did get a bit too attached to a chick. He definitely deserves the title of badass, and he would have gotten my vote in plenty of matchups...but come on, it's Rambo he's up against here.
Exactly...Neil was very thorough and he couldn't stand giving Waingro a pass...he knew he could just forget about him and just leave and get away... But NO. He went and put two in his chest and one in his head. Neil is no slouch....
The Man With No Name deserves better than an 8 seed. Although if you're downgrading him because Clint Eastwood later briefly grew a vagina and did Bridges of Madison County, I understand. (Happily, he regrew his balls and did Unforgiven...and where's William Munny in all this, anyway?) Edit: Never mind, I see Munny's in another bracket. Nice.
Hopefully Tom Highway hangs on over Rocky, I just dont like Sly enough to see him in the next round twice
WHAT??????? The last one was probably the best one since First Blood!!! it was so awesome and satisfying!
